The State of Texas blooms a sea of bluebonnets, but on the University of Texas campus something is not quite right.
Genetically modified bluebonnets are invading the campus, and rumor has it Texas A&M University is in on the prank.
Markus Hogue is the Program Coordinator for Irrigation and Water Conservation for UT Austin. He said a few years ago bluebonnet seeds were planted in the flower beds next to the Tower, but eventually patches of the maroon flowers started sprouting.

I once planted two acorns at Toomers Corner.

Will be hilarious to see Austin covered in Maroon Bluebonnets a few years down the road

Thankfully your evil acorns were removed.

That's some weak-arse horticultural terrorism. We take everything to a whole 'nother level at Bama.

"Oh look, pretty flowers"
Aggy: Boom! We got you good!

We've also developed maroon carrots (actually orange is NOT their natural color, that was developed to increase sales).
Next, we'll replace the turf in Kyle Field with maroon Bermuda grass (take that Boise State!)

At first I thought "that's cool". Then I thought the state of Texas will be battling to root out GMO maroon-bonnets in 20 years and that would kinda suck.
